Just by the countryside…
Where only fields of green stay
And where the mud mix with the clay
Live the blue Clouds that smiled always
And everything here had something to say
The trees tower over the fine little huts,
Where the green forest sit upon the hills,
With her inhabitants living with a firm will
Across the strings of hills and valleys
With the forest giving all something to feel
When we had the mornings…
We had dew fresh like the silk
And the buffaloes supply us milk,
There is a blue wide wild lake
Which gave the forest dwellers drink
The streams are clean, flowing eastwards
And a multitude of birds flew the skies
Banging their fair talons into the sky
Making a view for the bamboo trees which stood high
And dancing to the tunes of the waterfalls when she sigh
The noon blossom under the hot sun
Yes, the heat is not so hospitable, not so mild
But the birds still soared up the clouds
The women still had millet to pound
And men with their dogs hunt the hog
When the strength of the sun go faint
The men will gather at the inn for beer
The girls make the soup a little warmer
And prepare for a happy family dinner,
Stray songs of children make the evening milder
The Nights are not easy though
She tells of many long beautiful tales,
About the strange duck sitting by the well
Or the Old granny who sit to tell the tale
Of the giraffe which tried to make a sail
Across the big wide taunting Ocean
And how the Giraffe sank without a trace
The nights seem like a miniature race
Everyone hustle down with great haste
To the Oak tree where awaits an evening rest
